Has anyone had personal experience with rectovaginal fistula repair?

Thank you Ginger for your input. My friend has so many issues going on right and all of them are causing her so much stress. I don't think Alma would keep track of phone calls. Today I did check on her and she had a somewhat normal movement. I know she is worried since it's been 8 months since her surgery. She is going to see a gastroenterologist in 2 weeks and she is hoping that maybe she will have some answers for her. Her surgery was very extensive and I feel for her. I will speak with her tomorrow and let her know what you gold me. Thank you once for your concern and quick response. : )

@nscappa, I moved your posts asking questions on behalf of your friend's complications after fistula surgery to this existing discussion so you can connect with other members who have had the same surgery. See:

Like you, I hope the gastroenterologist will have some answers for her. You might encourage her to keep a journal over the next 2 weeks of the symptoms she experiences and her bowel movements, like how often, consistency, etc.

@nscappa Suggest to her she call her gastro's office, and ask to be placed on a cancellation list, that may get her in earlier than 2 weeks! Perhaps if she will let them know her issues, they will find space for her?
